Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Low to moderate varied flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Generally peaceful but can spread
• Care Level: Beginner to Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Start with gentler exposure and acclimate lighting gradually, then observe polyp response before making placement or intensity changes.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing movement helps keep the colony clear without subjecting the polyps to a constant direct blast.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the frag where it can receive suitable light and varied flow, allowing time to adjust after introduction.

Temperament

Keep it spaced from corals you want to protect. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but colonies can spread across nearby rockwork and gradually claim available space.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions and appropriate placement remain the main priorities.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Monitor polyp extension, placement, and nearby growth, especially as the colony spreads. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, moving, or maintenance.

Allow room for future spread when planning its long-term placement.
